Chapter 157: Flowers in the Mist



Gu Junyao held the handkerchief in her hand and looked at her with resentment.

"My sister misunderstood. She just saw Ah Chou enter Lady Qian's room, so she became suspicious."

Gu Yunru looked at her steadily, trying to find the flaws in her expression with his pair of sharp eyes. Gu Junyao seemed to know that he must not look into her eyes when talking to her, so he deliberately changed the subject and cleverly covered up the matter.

"I just asked Ah Chou to send some people to comfort Lady Qian, because I know she must have been frightened today."

Having said this, she shook her head with a look of pity.

"real?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Concubine Qian after she wakes up."

Gu Junyao's eyes suddenly became firm, and all the subtle expressions were cleverly hidden.

Gu Yunru returned to the yard with nothing. Qingfeng stood behind her with a long face, seeming a little angry about her sudden departure.

"Princess...please don't tease me like this next time."

It seemed that this sullen guy was really angry. His thick eyebrows were slanted and he had a sullen expression on his face, which made her want to laugh.

She waved at him, asked him to sit on the stone bench, raised her eyebrows and asked, "I believe you have heard about what happened today. I just went to ask about Mr. Qian and didn't do anything. You don't have to worry about me."

"But Your Majesty..."

"I know it was your Lord's order. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you next time. I will tell you where I'm going in advance. Is that okay now?"

Gu Yunru knew that being a guard was not easy, so she poured him a cup of tea to help him calm down.

"In fact, it would be fine if the princess told me before leaving, so as not to make me anxious."

Qingfeng lowered his head and spoke so quietly that Gu Yunru didn't hear what he said. She thought he was just mumbling and complaining, so she didn't care.

Looking at Qingfeng in front of him, he said, "By the way, I want you to help me check something."

"Princess, please speak."

"Please help me keep an eye on Ah Chou's actions over the next few days. If you find any suspicious clues, report to me immediately. Do you understand?" Gu Yunru stared at him with sparkling eyes. Qingfeng pursed his lips, which was considered as his agreement.

After seeing Qingfeng's figure walking away, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qingxing beside her and said, "What's with that expression on your face?"

Qing Xing sighed, "I haven't seen General Zijun for a while, and I don't know how he is doing now."

"So you're thinking about men."

Gu Yunru started to tease, and Qingxing blushed like a monkey's butt. She stamped her feet shyly and said, "Princess, don't talk nonsense..."

"Okay, okay, I won't talk nonsense. It's normal for people to be in love."

A faint smile appeared on Gu Yunru's lips.

This girl really can't stand a joke. She blushes at the mere mention of one sentence.

Doctor Su was looking at a medicine jar in the yard when he was suddenly hit on the arm by something. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a green stone.

He raised his eyes and looked around vigilantly.

He carefully hid the stone in his sleeve.

He looked around vigilantly and came behind a rockery.

A man dressed like a eunuch quickly pulled him to his side.

"I'm here, listen, this is for the dog emperor!"

The man had small eyes and a high nose. He looked around while talking to Doctor Su.

"Okay, by the way, Rong Zhen..."

"Don't worry about that for now. I'll have a plan when the time comes."

"good."

The man gave him a packet of medicine and disappeared without a trace.

Doctor Su carefully returned to his original place.

The emperor drinks the mind-calming medicine every day, and it is prepared personally by Imperial Physician Su.

This time was no exception. Doctor Su brought the medicine into the imperial study.

He stood aside and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, please use it."

The emperor looked up at him casually and asked curiously, "Why did the imperial physician personally deliver the medicine today?"

“Um… this…”

Doctor Su hesitated and could not give a clear answer for a while.

The emperor pursed his lips and chuckled, and was about to raise the medicine bowl when suddenly, a tall figure walked in from the door. It was Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen had a murderous look on his face, and wherever he went, no grass would grow.

He waved his robe and something flew out, breaking the bowl. The emperor looked at Rong Zhen who was approaching with a confused look on his face.

"Your Majesty...you..."

Doctor Su looked at Rong Zhen in fear, with murderous intent in his eyes. His gaze was enough to kill anyone.

"I've been observing you for a long time these past few days, and finally I found out your flaws. You're a spy in plain clothes!"

Rong Zhen spoke word by word, grabbed his hands fiercely, and shook out a packet of medicine powder from his sleeves.

"Your Majesty...what do you mean by this? I don't understand."

Doctor Su began to act pretentiously and looked at the emperor for help.

"Still pretending?"

Rong Zhen sneered and tore off his coat. Sure enough, there was a pattern similar to tea leaves on the back of his neck.

The emperor gradually understood what was happening.

"Someone come!"

At the emperor's command, many Yulin soldiers walked in from the doorway and captured Doctor Su.

"Your Majesty...I was framed!" Imperial Doctor Su tried to plead for mercy, but was dragged away.

Watching the scene that just happened without causing any danger, the emperor walked to Rong Zhen's side and frowned, "Is this the plan you mentioned?"

"Brother, this is just the beginning."

Rong Zhen had received news early in the morning that there was a spy in the palace, but he had no clue. After several days of continuous investigation, he finally locked his sights on Doctor Su and discovered that he indeed frequently went to the inn in Southeast City.

"How come I didn't realize that Doctor Su was actually a spy? I really don't know how many people around me I can trust."

The emperor's eyes were filled with infinite loneliness and he drooped his eyelids.

Rong Zhen sent someone to arrest Doctor Su and bring him to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. After Cheng Shaoyuan learned about this, he specially ordered someone to interrogate him overnight.

At first, Doctor Su was stubborn and refused to confess anything.

Just when he was about to compromise, he unexpectedly bit his tongue and committed suicide.

The clue was thus interrupted.

Cheng Shaoyuan handed the items found on Doctor Su to Rong Zhen.

"The pattern on this jade pendant is very unique, and it is made of mutton-fat jade."

Rong Zhen stared at the jade pendant, but didn't see anything special about it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Cheng."

Rong Zhen turned around and looked at Cheng Shaoyuan, who leaned over with a flattered look on his face, observing all the necessary courtesies.

"This is my humble duty."

Cheng Shaoyuan lowered his head and spoke respectfully.

The scene changed, and Zi Luo took Shufei to a small hut in the suburbs, which was where Kang Keren was previously settled. Kang Keren, wearing a white veil hat, was waiting for her to come back in the hut. Seeing that she brought back another crazy woman, she frowned curiously.

"Is this the person you wanted to rescue?"
